Yes. Two rows, differing heights, and they really appreciated the foil strips we hung from the wires, because it let them know just where to repeatedly smell and receive current in the face. Since our backyards are connected, this has been something we've spent time working on, together.

Suburban deer don't care about your fences and deterrents. They've got every night to figure out how to get around it. They're not deer from out in the country who get easily discouraged.

It doesn't work. My next door neighbor has had an electric fence in his backyard for 4 years, and year-round, at least once a month, he's out there re-stringing it because a herd fucking runs through it instead of attempting to jump.

The herd stands in the backyard for hours, until one of them is dumb enough to stumble into it, at which point they freak out, and they tangle themselves and tear it down. They're not deterred, at all. They'll gladly nose around underneath it and try to crawl under.

I remember crafting a waterproof sleeve out of these bags for the summer that I had a broken arm. Used it whenever I took a shower. Totally looked like a clown arm but it worked and I'd eat that bread again right now if someone gave me a loaf.

Since you're simply parroting the same bullshit that my octogenarian mother-in-law hears down at the church every weekend, without understanding any of it, I'm gonna bid you a good day and wish you luck in your battle with reality.

If nonsense superlatives, "Sheetz" and backhanded comments about trans people were nickels, you'd be rich.

It's about as classic diner as I can find near me, and that's what I want. Nice big pancakes, good bottomless coffee, eggs done just right. It's not fancy and doesn't try to be, but it's definitely a regular spot for a lot of people.

Generally speaking, gated communities aren't a thing in the Pittsburgh area. There are planned communities, sure, but not like what you're used to in Texas. Our open land isn't flat, and we have forest everywhere.

Geographically, Dallas might as well be on the moon compared to Pittsburgh.
